Some cities do have a proliferation of chargers. The tech is getting cheaper, and once installed there they are. Easy to put in anywhere. Company & big-retail parking lots tend to have them (not gas stations): pull up, plug in, go do your thing, got a decent charge (if not complete) when you come out.
Again, the car tells you how much range you have remaining, and where the nearby chargers are. I assume newer ones warn you when you’re running out of options (remaining charge vs distance to chargers). You just learn to plan ahead a bit, no biggie; takes some kind of stupid to actually run the battery flat.
Well I guess just like fueled cars. I think charge time (to full) right now is a deterrent since it takes so long to charge. I suppose just for running around town doing errands.
I think a lot of Tesla owners never need a charger except for the one in their garages. They use the car for a specific purpose like driving to work or cruising on the weekends. If they need to take a trip they have a second car or they rent one.
One thing is for sure, Tesla has no shortage of extremely enthusiastic customers. Any company, not just car companies would love to have that.

Can’t wait for when a majority of Cars are electrical yet the cost is prohibitive for enough Charging stations to keep up with the demand. The Charging Station brawls caught on video should be epic. Highly unlikely outside of Corp. Parking lots that Charging remains free.
